a 20" long silver frame is about as interesting as all the other 20" long silver frames out there. And oh yeah, a 26" long silver frame is about as interesting as all the other 26" long silver frames too. Shit, why don't they even try to make em different to the norm... Not geo, but aesthetics. john

it won't last TOO long though so be warned. It will do you a while and if you're lucky it may just last and last, but normally a reweld on aluminium especially, does recrack at some point sooner rather than later.... Worth it for 10 or 15 quid though even if you only got a month out of it... john

haha, honestly, nah!! i don't regret ever trying something on my bike, no matter whether i knocked my teeth out, f**ked my neck ligaments, dislocated my ankles or knocked myself out. I'm more kinda proud of myself for commiting to trying it and accepting that it went wrong, so next time i have to try to do it right. I only learn by falling off normally, so it has to be part of riding!!! I regret having my nob shortened. i should have left it at a natural 13" instead of shrinking it to a mear 9". john

in all honesty, after thinking for about 30 minutes sinse seeing this thread. There isn't anything i regret or wish i hadn't done... ever. I'm hapy with my whole life. Everything has happened has either been good/funny, or bad, which i have turned to work for me. It's pretty good for me actually lol. Just realised how much i enjoy life! john

i wish i hadn't done JTM's maa.

Just done these before. i kinda like sequences lol. Never done em before really... [attachmentid=2479] [attachmentid=2480] john

ben landed smith to HARD 180 of a DOWN sloped box tonight....

i could have sworn his name is actually chris russell woulda put money on it..... now i dunno! he was so f**king dialled. unbelievable to watch. I just sat there in awe, wishing i could manual as good as him, nevermind that he did a barpin to manual, without brakes!

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...F4143FF23585670 On photoshop i want to make a shitload of pictures i have, into finished images for the wall. I want nice simple borders on them that look good. In many magazines the edges of thew images have borders to finish them, rather than just straight edges. How the f**k do i do this! Check the link for an example... john

thanks mate... and fatmike john

DON'T POST IT HERE BUT IF YOU HAVE, PLEASE PM IT TO ME SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE.... THANKS (soz caps)

i do get you, and know there is plenty of danger in trials. I got bored though. A gap is a gap, whether its 1 foot up or 10 feet. It's a mental thing, and if that height doesn't phase you, then it begins to get boring (for me anyway). It's not anything to do with speed that attracts me to bmx either. I'm the slowest bmxer i know lol. I get your point. Everybody is different john

sorry but that is the biggest pile of bollocks i've ever heard....

i'm talking about it being square taper as opposed to spline, rather than square taper as an axle. aiming my post at people who seem to think square tapers round, creek and f**k up... That is then their fault. john

wow. motion skatepark is amazing. we ended up riding it both days and got a load of good/new footage. got a flat in my car, wrecked my leg, leon wrecked his leg, ate so much trifle we got the shits, got KB'd from premier inn for bunking us all into a single room, and still had a f**king boss time. john

certainly are haah.... i can't run my new ones while they are still in the post!!!

Me and 2 mates are treking to bristol's motion skatepark in the morning (monday) and riding all day, then we'll be riding Newport skate extreme all day tuesday... If you wanna go down there we'll be filming/riding/falling/eating/pissing all around the skateparks... see you if you're cool enough john.

lol yeah. well i got a seat off profile for nowt and i liked it so i got a post and like this set u more now lol. heavier but not too much and its comfier. The fly tyres wore out and i felt like a change. These are a lot better than the fly's for me. Bit bouncier and shitloads grippier.

you wouldn't need to upgrade though. Nobody upgrades for a laugh. they upgrade because they ne3ed/want something better. If you have the best fromt the start it can only help. The only thing i could say is that you do things heavier and tougher when you learn so often damage parts faster than once you have it learned and do it smooth. If i could afford the best, then i would have done fromt he start. Spend the most you can

everyone loves myspace, and if not, they should myspace rules, its addictive and has pornstars on it.... (T) top banana.

Get on myspace!!!
